Make Your Clients Want You

This is inspired by a post on Black Star Rising, about two recent job-posting for photographers. The short version: one job offered no compensation other than credit (this posted by a PR-firm on behalf of a “high-profile” client).

What’s In a Job Description

The Seedy Side of Microstock

This is the dawn of a new era in microstock photography.
